Just got an email today from TMDSAS saying my app have been sent to all of my schools. The process now begins.

I submitted my app June 4, they received the payment June 7... hopefully mine will be submitted to the schools soon as well.
I got this email also. It said: Your application has been sent to the following schools:
then doesn't list any schools...... I'm assuming this is a mistake, because on my TMDSAS page it shows all the schools i applied to,and it says "submitted to school"
man this system is fraught with bugs
Out of curiosity, if I submitted my application and then a week later add another school, will TMDSAS mail out my stuff in accordance with the last one I submitted? Or will they split it up?
What is this about TMDSAS sending emails they've sent out the apps?
I submitted my Application 6/1 and they received payment later that week. By each school it says "Submitted to TMDSAS".
Am I doing something wrong, is there some secret verify or submit button somewhere?
Yes, just go to Word and the "Find and Replace" feature...in the "find" field put in two spaces, in the "replace" field put in one spaceguys a quick question I hope can generate some response tonight. On the personal statement "essay" that TMDSAS has which is the 5000 character limit; which I think is horrible by the way, is there any way I can only space 1 time after a sentence instead of 2 in order to get some more words in?
That is why med schools set limits, great communicators should be able to make their points in brief. Try going through the essay, and ask yourself after each sentence if it is specifically conveying a point (as opposed to filler/just "describing") or if you can reword/combine it with another sentence/point.I just have so many good points to make and at 6000 characters right now I just dont see how I can trim it down any more and be as effective and convey what I want to say.
Hi everyone. Im writing my statement...whats the name of the lights which doctors use to view x-rays; the one's that are vertically hung on the wall

Hey guys--hope everyone is doing well. So like everyone here, I started my application early, but got caught up in my MCAT (June 18th). Finished all the essays and because Ive been out of school for a while, I had a lot to write about work, activities, etc. So basically, went for quality vs. pressing submit too fast.
Since its still June 21, and the application opened May 18, is submission now considered early? I feel like the race is getting tighter and tighter each year!
Thanks!
hey iPod, i'm in the same boat. I submitted about the same time, all of my transcripts were sent many weeks ago and it still says what yours says. i'm going to give a day or so and if it doesn't change, i'll e-mail them. i think it may have to do with the system, it looks like it's still fairly bug-ridden. i just want everything to be in by the beginning of july.I submitted my application, LORs, and transcript on Jun 12. Right now it says "submitted to TMDSAS, 0 Letter received and No transcript received" Is it normal? I turned in my letters and transcript to interfolio for at least 3 weeks...
I don't think they respond to emails regarding those concerns. My friend who is also applying had sent them multiple emails and haven't got any response. I'm gonna call them if they don't update it on Thurs.
On the website it lists these as problems that they are aware of and instructs not to contact them regarding these issues. That's likely why they haven't replied e-mails. They need to get their crap together. I submitted June 4, and mine also still says Submitted to TMDSAS, 0 transcripts and 0 letters. They have, however, acknowledged receipt of my transcripts on another page of the app. They told me to give them a few days to update the status of my committee letter.

Is your "another page" refers to the credential-document request form?
My app was submitted to the schools today. I submitted my primary on June 4 and they received my payment June 7.
I wonder when they will start extending interview invites...if it is true that UTH will begin interviews in late July, they'll have to start soon.
Does TMDSAS send our applications to the schools in batches, or do they send individual apps out as they are processed?
Hey guys,
I got notification yesterday that my app has been submitted to schools. I'm confused about something. On the coursework, under 'Term' my courses have been randomly assigned numbers 6 thru 10. This doesn't appear to be in any particular order as some of my freshman classes have a 6 designation as well as some of my graduate school courses. When entering the information, I remember putting in 1 for freshman, 2 for sophomore, 3 for junior, etc.
Could you guys pull up your application summary and let me know if this is the case with you too?

I'm really frustrated with interfolio. I can't believe that they submitted my app to the schools without sending me a summary page that shows my calculated grade point averages. I e-mailed them regarding this and they said that it's a computer problem that they are unable to resolve. How do I verify that my gpa was calculated correctly? How do I verify that my courses were properly assigned? This is so frustrating!
My application still says submitted to TMDSAS, but in the application summary, I do have the number you were talking about.

Will taking the MCAT on July 30th be too late for this cycle.
I hate to procrastinate but I just don't feel ready to take this test anytime sooner..
Also if I change my test date, do I have to let the schools know or just change the planned test date on TMDSAS? the test date part is changeable by user..
I was surprised at the cost of applying to all the MD programs through TMDSAS, $145 is not that bad. There are only 2 secondary fees totaling $100, right?
That's correct. The only two secondaries that cost are A&M and Tech
So applying to...
Applying to Baylor costs $250 alone.but I'll gladly spend it!
Hi, I have a question for those of you that's doing the secondary. How long is your essay response for Tech and A&M? UTSW has word limitation so I kinda just write up to those, but Tech and A&M don't, so I'm kind of worry that my responses are too short...
thanks
Really? I know that their secondary is $90... but is the difference the cost of the primary AMCAS app?

question regarding secondaries... will I even get the chance to submit one before having my MCAT score back? I don't take the test until August 21, and results won't be back until late sept, so will I only have a couple of days to submit a secondary, or will the TX schools let me fill them out already anyways?
Man sometimes I wonder if I should wait a whole year to apply since I'm already so late taking this dreaded test....
the secondary is went up. it was just $80 last year. i'm glad i only have to pay $45. my Baylor application was FREE 😀
i don't see my cGPA and BCPM GPA either. I had to call and ask TMDSAS. However, when I calculated the GPA, it doesn't match. what should i do. and yes...i did not count the plus/minuses in there b/c they said they don't include that.
